+1 this - I have been to London recently and Tripadvisor has much more reviews about restaurants/POI than Yelp.

Microsoft is also a front-end for search - Bing.

DDG has their own algorithms and indexing for providing search results. Not sure how that partnership would be any different.

I wish they would partner up with duckduckgo. But then, yahoo wouldn't get the advantage of tracking people for ads.

They don't support multiple devices/sessions concurrently. You can only be logged in on one device any given time.

Do these work well on flights? Especially when you are sitting close to the exit row near the engine(s). OR am i better off buying the Bose Noise Cancelling headset?

I wonder if knowing (and using) a third language or even a fourth will reduce the dementia/ increase the positive effects even further.

This. I can't look at the passenger ether when I'm driving, even on very familiar roads. I never thought this is awkward - but if the passenger is not a friend/ close acquaintance, I mention it casually that I am in fact listening to them even if I'm not looking at them. The best I could do is keep nodding or make agreeing sounds.

Atlanta continues to amaze me. On one hand, I see reports every week from the police department at my school (downtown atlanta)about robberies/ mugging (armed) with usually no police officers around to help. The response times are usually >20 minutes (usually because they are way understaffed). And on the other, I see militarized police brutality. I wish there is a way to funnel my tax dollars to those departments that are going to help people rather than hurt them.

This is plain stupid. Seems like some politician trying to flex his/her power to gain votes.

I don't understand why Indian govt thinks Khobragade should receive any sort of special treatment. She was arrested and prosecuted just like a regular person. THere shouldn't be any double standards.

I think this feature will protect users on websites where java applets load inconspicuously. With this feature user wouldn't click on the blocked plugin/applet because they don't have a use for it. This is not the solution that will end all our problems but hey this is one step closer and I'll take that!

Love this - All Java plug-ins are defaulted to 'click to play'

I tried convincing my coworkers to disable java and failed (we are not developers).

I agree with what you said for Nexus or any other android devices. But OP was talking about iPhones. And that is why it seemed not very plausible.

This is interesting. Why would a location data point created during testing show up in your location history? You should be logged in for google to make it a data point on your account.

These incidents seem like coming straight out of "Atlas Shrugged". different circumstances, similar outcome and government is the reason for the events.

With the NSA debate, I keep wondering if there is something people in positions in the government and security agencies know that makes them keep doing what they're doing.

I mean some of these people are really smart and understand how this spying can be abused. There must be something they know that makes them build or support these programs.

Couldn't agree more. And it kinda looks like Spotify to me.

If only it were this simple with every case. What if you applied for a trademark sometime ago, but haven't released your product yet and someone comes along and releases a product with your trademark (unintentional of course)and becomes fairly successful ? I am not debating the article. Just wondering what would be the most ethical thing to do.
